商品簡介
Pediatric neuropsychology helps clinical scientists understand the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral development of children from infancy to adolescence. This field bridges the gap between neuroscience and psychology, providing essential insights into how brain development influences a child's learning, memory, attention, and executive functioning. Clinical applications of pediatric neuropsychology are vast, ranging from early diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to the assessment of brain injuries and neurological diseases in children. Through specialized assessments and intervention strategies, neuropsychologists can identify cognitive delays, learning disabilities, and emotional regulation difficulties, tailoring individualized treatment plans that optimize developmental outcomes. As children grow, neuropsychological evaluations are crucial in monitoring the effects of brain development, trauma, and neurological interventions, ensuring children receive the necessary support to thrive in both academic and social contexts. Clinical Applications of Pediatric Neuropsychology from Infancy to Adolescence examines the issues surrounding typical and atypical development and clinical implications in infancy, childhood and adolescence, and discusses the etiology and symptomatology of neurodevelopmental and chronic disorders. It explores individualized intervention methods for neurodevelopmental disorders. This book covers topics such as neuroscience, social relationships, and rehabilitation, and is a useful resource for medical professionals, engineers, psychologists, educators, academicians, researchers, and neuroscientists.
